Hypothetically speaking and stuff
Can I have some feedback on these names, any make your stomach turn, any
you adore that sort of thing....connotations to them, no need to feed back on every name just the ones you have strong thoughts on. Trying to come up with some sort of short list for contemplation, not having much luck. Adelaide, Arabella, Georgette, Freya, Fleur, Jemima, Lucinda, Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? Girls names we already have are... Tessa Hannah Paige Breanna Grace Madeline Rose Isabella Amelia Kate Lydia Elisabeth Andrea no middle name |

Adelaide
That one sounds really good with your other girl names IMO. , Arabella, I love that one myself. Georgette, Freya, Fleur, Jemima, Jemima has a pancake syrup connotation in the States. :-) Lucinda, Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow Don't really care for those. And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? Not at all. We thought of using that as a middle name as it was my husband's grandmother's middle name--although if it were me I would probably spell it Mae. Leslie Emily (2/4/91) Jake (1/27/94) Teddy (2/15/95) William (3/5/01 -- VBA3C, 13 lbs. 5 oz.) and Lorelei, expected 11/2/04 "Children come trailing clouds of glory from God, which is their home." ~ William Wordsworth |

Adelaide, Arabella, Georgette, Freya, Fleur, Jemima, Lucinda, Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow Personally, I would avoid Jemima for sure. I have fond memories of a professor named Poppy (*very* bright and interesting lady). For some reason I'm not fond of Saffron, though I can't put my finger on why. Freya doesn't seem to fit with the rest of your names to me. I like Georgia better than Georgette (which is a kind of fabric, though I confess Georgette Heyer novels are a guilty pleasure ;-) Have you considered Rowan? A friend named his daughter (now 7-ish years old) that, and she's a pretty impressive kid. Seems to go with your other names (in my head, anyway, which might not count for much ;-). Claire/Clare/Clara also seems like a name that might fit with your others. And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? Not in my book. Best wishes, Ericka |

Trying to come up with some sort of short list for contemplation, not having much luck. Adelaide, like it Arabella like it Georgette don't like it, there are some boy nick names for girls I like but George isn't one of them and most likely it will get shortened Freya don't hate it but don't really like it either Fleur not to keen Jemima don't like it Lucinda like it Lucianna like it Matilda reminds me of a witch, why? Poppy don't love it don't hate it Saffron love this! Tamasin not to keen on this Tansy it's ok Willow like it And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? not at all, I considered this for Madeline as she was born in may but opted for June as that is my mum's middle name (and it sounded better).

Trying to come up with some sort of short list for contemplation, not having much luck. Adelaide, Arabella, Georgette, Freya, Fleur, Jemima, Lucinda, Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, These last two are getting really popular at the moment due to certain UK television shows/personalities. Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow I like Tansy the best. I know an Arabella (5 year old), a Jemima (2.5 year old), and a Matilda (4 year old) personally. I knew an adult Freya who has actually married a Dutchman and gone to live in Holland. Willow is not just the name of a _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ character, it's also the name of Will Smith's daughter. There is some completely useless random trivia inside my head -- Cheryl Mum to Shrimp (11 Mar 99), Thud (4 Oct 00) Mischief (30 Jul 02) + Thumper due Feb 05 |

Adelaide, Arabella, Georgette, Freya, Fleur, Jemima, Lucinda, Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow I like: Adelaide, Georgette (but I'd choose Georgia instead), Jemima reminds me of syrup ;-) But Jemma would be a possibility. Matilda is very pretty. And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? If either of mine had been born in April, guess what their middle name would have been :-) Nancy Lynn ;-) |
